About The Exhibition:
Venice is a magical place. From the beginning there has always been a foundation of independent positivity. A culture built on possibility and de ant optimism, its transitory nature plays a vital role the Venetian character. Vibrant attitudes and spectacular landscapes, Venice never fails to put on a spectacular show.
Throughout time, artists have made their pilgrimage to the city of light. It is captivating. We are all chasing the light. Like a moth to a lightbulb, that draws artists from the around the globe.
This light is ery, full of colour and uncontrollable. It is these attributes that calls many an artist to the city. And we want to capture this light to canvas. But it does much more than that. This light is magic. You have
to be in its presence to really understand
its power. You hope that it will provide transformative powers. That, like any vitamin, it will improve your capacity for greatness.
And we have proof... great masters such as Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese showed us what when in uenced by this mystic light. It continues to exist today as Venice plays host to the international Biennale.
This collection of works is my version of the light of Venice and the colours I perceived under it. Inspired by the greats such as Michelangelo and Bellini whio harnessed the ‘Cangiante’cannon. Replacing tone with a complete shift of colour, these combinations are intended to create a surreal illumination and take on the city of light.

Biography

Saturated colour and strong movement are signature strokes of a style I call ‘Fragmatism.’ Images float, dissolve and fragment across the canvas.

Specialising in semi-abstract still life and landscape paintings. I want to create a sense of energy in every piece. My aim is to take the ‘still out of still life.’

Connections to our environment and the objects that fill them, are themes that continue to inspire my creative practice. Translating the vibrancy of life through colour is my life long quest.

Based in Sydney, I work from my home studio in the inner west suburb of Sydenham. Trained originally as a Graphic Designer my transition to artist was always an aspiration. I have exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally and made final selection in many art competitions and shows throughout my art career. Completing art residencies in New York, Venice and Fiji has played an important part of my art practice. I also enjoy helping others find their own creative path, this I do as the Arts presenter of EdTV Australia, developing Co-Kreate, a youth art mentoring program, conducting art functions and workshops and teaching one-to-one art classes.
